Tel Aviv’s Ayalon Highway was partially shut down during the morning rush hour on Monday after a grenade was spotted on the road, according to police.

“A short time ago, traffic police found a grenade on the side of Route 20,” a statement read.

Sappers were dispatched to the scene.

The grenade was reportedly found near the Rokach Interchange.

It was not immediately clear where the grenade originated from.

This is a developing story.

“Our job is to tell the true story and remember who were the victims and how just are the war Israel conducted and the war America and Israel are conducting in Iran against the source of the evil.”
The Israeli president released his New Year’s greeting to Jewish communities around the world in eight languages.
“It’s an hour of crisis,” Deborah Lipstadt, former U.S. special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism, told JNS. “I think it’s a time when you have to try every avenue.”
The Israeli premier dubbed the report a “malicious fabrication,” saying that no conversation was held with his Emirati counterpart in the period before the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre.
